This might be a long shot, but I finally have my Omega Entertainment Machine shipping, but there's still one game I've been trying to find to play on it - Magician Lord. Unfortunately all the copies I can find right now are AES (for home consoles) as opposed to MVS. If anybody has a copy - loose, CIB, whatever - tested and working, please let me know and we can discuss what you'd like for it.

If you have any other NG MVS games that are fun to play, let me know - I'm open to purchasing some others to play too since I ordered the system without any games on hand 

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, where in NH did you grow up? I moved to NH when I was 14, been here ever since (just turned 34)!

FunSpot rules; my family would go for summer vacation when we lived down in MA.

Grew up in Milford and moved around to a few different towns before finally leaving. Always thought of it as a pretty small town (I mean, it is) but I was back there recently and really it's quite a lot more developed downtown than I remembered. Where'd you move to NH from? I'm a west coast guy these days

I was just talking to my wife about this yesterday wondering if Fun Spot was still around. Grew up in new hampshire until I was nearly 30 and I only went a couple of times because it was pretty far from where I lived. I really want to go back this year when I visit family in NH and it makes me super happy to see its still around!

and a TShirt charm for good measure

Full NES retail licensed NTSC set. LMK if you need pics of the boxed stuff or whatever  the ones on the shelves that are just black sleeves are the ones in acrylic

for the hints magazine, is it "Tips 'n Tricks" by chance? If so i might be interested, no idea what thoses are valued at but those were THE 'magazines' I'd always ask for at the grocery store to get hints games

50 reproduction NES dust sleeves. Bought a ton to space out my shelves as I completed my licensed retail NES set, and slowly replaced many with real sleeves. Bought them for about 0.50 each plus shipping, yours for free if you just cover the shipping cost. Not worth it to me to hold onto them since I'm moving and don't want to pack and unpack them if I don't need them

Claimed

I haven't noticed people being particularly flakey here compared to other avenues like Facebook, generally if I get a reply at all here it's pretty smooth (and people are understanding about life stuff getting in the way.) I have a similar perception that way back on NA when I was collecting there were more "good deals" to be had - but buying/selling wasn't as hot of a market as it is today. I'd love to cut people good deals, the problem with selling vs trading is these days even if I buy a lot of games I'm probably paying close to retail on each game because of the current market. Once you factor in fees and taxes (I haven't  been tracking every single game I buy/sell) there really isn't much room to cut deals unless you're willing to lose money on a deal. I'm going to be moving more towards trading for this exact reason. In fact, I am sitting on a bunch of duplicates because I made mistakes with my collection tracking and  bought some twice - a couple at the 250+ mark - and selling them now even at PC value comes out to a loss. 

Bump! Anybody have cliffhanger for sale??

Bump - only have 8 left, some of which I could finish off on eBay but are overpriced at the moment and some others I can't even find for sale right now. Moving houses in Mid February and hoping to complete the set before I have to pack it all up to move!

Last 2 carts on the way to finish my set, not looking for anything specific at the moment

Going to post some pics tonight after dinner when I get a chance to get it all unpacked, but I also got a complete w/inserts Chrono Trigger, CIB Flintstones Dino Peak, CIB Samson, CIB Smash TV and loose minty Panic and Power Blade 2 and a few mid range loose carts

I was lucky to have an opportunity to splurge and I took advantage lol

Given the WATA 7.5 that just sold I think I paid over retail (or that went for a steal) but it was a price I was happy with and I was already getting a bunch of stuff from the guy so he was willing to let it go finally

I had a very large (and expensive ) pickup today to add to my collection but the one I am absolutely most excited about is that I finally got a NTSC Stadium Events! While it doesn't quite finish my licensed set, this and some other carts I picked up today knocked almost every heavy off the list so I'm in the home stretch!! I didn't think a complete complete licensed set was ever in my future but the opportunity came at just the right time! 

I'm super super super pumped and can't wait to share the finished full set soon(ish)

Lots of progress since March towards my complete licensed NES set, and a bunch of cool items along the way (I really like the NES rental case!) I ended up taking off the doors and clearing out the closet in this room and installing new shelves - now I can store more of my collection (but not quite all) - and put in a rolling workbench and a CRT so I can do all of my cleaning/testing/repairs righty by my collection ... and next to my desk for work when I have downtime 

Need a slighltly newer CRT with s-video/rgb but this one was pretty cheap and fits perfect!

(also, if you have lots of NES games lmk because I still need about 100 to go!)

Bump!

bump! marked off some stuff that sold

Ah yes, expensive filler

Do you have a list somewhere of what you still need? I'd be happy to help fellow collectors towards their full set if I come across doubles I have that they still need

Im at about 575 with some 3&5 screw variants and the number of crappy $$$ games is really adding up. I recently took everything in my spreadsheet of games that I have left and dumped it in PriceCharting, put the values back into the sheet, and just sorted by value so I could start grabbing some of the cheaper ones to make me feel better filling my shelves  Fortunately there are still a bunch of relatively cheap ones I've somehow missed. Maybe it will be the same for you

I thought the Subscriber coin was added automatically? I don't see mine

I had seen the same recently, I didn't have it for a while and then I suddenly earned it last Monday. My last subscription payment was July 22nd so it didn't correspond with that and so I figured they did a one-time migration or something.
